Well the 10/10 Belleville auction results are up in the results page, and while it was still a relatively crappy auction, it was an improvement over the last one... so I think I'll still keep going as long as they continue to get better and not worse... This one even had a bit of a "dead row" which is a bargain hunters dream IMHO....
Anyhow, came close to picking up a few things to get outbid at the last minute again, however I did win another jukebox, bringing my juke total to 3... Why buy another juke? Well there's 2 reasons really... First, it was the box I originally wanted to get, the one that plays both CD's and 45's (100 "45's" + a 6 cd changer) AMI Rowe R-92+cd. the second reason is that I picked it up almost full (80 out of the 100 records) mostly working and for the price of $20.

I got it home, and the 6 disc player wasn't working, but I just happen to have another 6 disk that was virtually the same model as the one in the unit, so I swapped them out. Now I have a working cd player that the juke controls, but I'm not getting any sound from it, so let the troubleshooting begin. Other than a few adjustments to the tone arm and probably a new needle, the record part seems to work OK... I am concerned with getting no audio from the CD changer, hoping there isn't any amp issues, I will be ordering the manual soon.
In other news, I did throw a 48-1 board in that old Galaxy Games multi... just have a few more things to do to it (new glass art, a couple of cam locks), and to get some real cpo material (threw on some crappy contact paper material I had laying around for the time being) before I'll call it done, but it's getting pretty close.

Also building a 60-1 with trackball upright, that I'll probably sell. They still seem to be bringing in a decent amount of money so maybe it will help fund some projects that have been on the back burner for a while...
Gameroom construction is slow but steady, hopefully I'll be able to start making progress on it soon as I would still like to get it done this year... It's already cold out though so any thoughts of having nice fall weather to work on it are shot to hell...
That's all I have for now, sorry for the lack of updates lately.
